Thorough and comprehensive stroke screenings are offered by the NYC heart doctor cardiologist, Dr. Steven Reisman, of the New York Cardiac Diagnostic Center.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is stopped, causing brain cells to die. There are two kinds of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic strokes occur when a blood clot or plaque buildup blocks a blood vessel in the brain. Hemorrhagic strokes result from blood vessels breaking and leaking into or around the brain.
